Nintendo brings back late-night console launches with debut of Switch 2


Nintendo brought back late-night game console launches tonight as people across the world waited in line to get the Nintendo Switch 2.

For the first time in eight years, Nintendo fans had a chance to wait in line like the good days as they spent hundreds of dollars a piece on the new game console and its accessories. I walked out of the door with about $750 in merch, including my Switch 2 and its flagship game, Mario Kart World. It was worth it to hear the Nintendo Store employees clapping and Dean hold the first console above his head in glory as he walked out the door.
